Coffee

Posts here are devoted to the simple joy of coffee—whether it’s a nitro oat latte in Fargo or a tasting flight during a road trip. I share notes on cafés visited, beans tried and the small moments that make each cup memorable.

    Checking out the new Fairgrounds Craft Coffee & Tea in North Loop. ☕️ Very good coffee. Fried egg sandwich is amazing.

    Espresso time. ☕️

    Afternoon coffee flight – macchiato with cappuccino at Cafe Umbria. ☕️

    Espresso. 🤤☕️

    When you clean that black crud out of the bottom of your espresso machine’s portafilter it makes you pause a moment on what you are drinking — and then you make another espresso. ☕️🤔

    One of my favorite Saturday morning spots to do some reading.

    Got a set of the Bodum demitasse for Christmas. Lighter than my typical Illy demitasse but I like that you can see the espresso. ☕️

    Trying to figure out what size rubber grommet I need for my espresso knock box bar. A bit bewildering. 🧐
